FEMA sources confirm coming martial law

WMR
October 8, 2008

WMR has learned from knowledgeable Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) sources that the Bush administration is putting the final touches on a plan that would see martial law declared in the United States with various scenarios anticipated as triggers. The triggers include a continuing economic collapse with massive social unrest, bank closures resulting in violence against financial institutions, and another fraudulent presidential election that would result in rioting in major cities and campuses around the country.

In addition, Army Corps of Engineer sources report that the assignment of the 3rd Infantry Division’s 1st Brigade Combat Team (BCT) to the Northern Command’s U.S. Army North is to augment FEMA and federal law enforcement in the imposition of traffic controls, crowd control, curfews, enhanced border and port security, and neighborhood patrols in the event a national emergency being declared. The BCT was assigned to duties in Iraq before being assigned to the Northern Command.

On April 3, 2008, WMR reported on a highly-classified document regarding the martial law scenario: WMR has learned from knowledgeable sources within the US financial community that an alarming confidential and limited distribution document is circulating among senior members of Congress and their senior staff members that is warning of a bleak future for the United States if it does not quickly get its financial house in order. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is among those who have reportedly read the document. The document is being called the "C & R" document because it reportedly states that if the United States defaults on loans and debt underwriting from China, Japan, and Russia, all of which are propping up the United States government financially, and the United States unilaterally cancels the debts, America can expect a war that will have disastrous results for the United States and the world. "Conflict" is the "C word" in the document. The other scenario is that the federal government will be forced to drastically raise taxes in order to pay off debts to foreign countries to the point that the American people will react with a popular revolution against the government. "Revolution" is the document’s "R word.

China state paper lashes US monetary policy
8 Oct, 2008, 0637 hrs IST, REUTERS

BEIJING: The "tsunami" in the US financial system was touched off by short-sighted monetary policy and lax regulation, a leading Chinese state ne
wspaper said on Wednesday. The front-page commentary in the overseas edition of the People's Daily is the latest in a stream of critical articles that have lashed US policy even as the Chinese central bank has said it endorses a Washington bailout plan.

"Throughout the sub-prime crisis, each step appears to have been reasonable and proper, but in fact each one was expanding and accumulating risks," said the commentary by Yi Xianrong, an economist at the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, a leading government think-tank.

The People's Daily is the ruling Communist Party's official paper, and the overseas edition is a small offshoot of the main domestic edition. Its commentaries do not necessarily directly reflect leadership positions. But this commentary and previous ones have reflected dismay with US economic policy and debate over how China should respond to Washington's financial straits.
